Arparagus Precoce d'Argenteuil. Early. Light green big spears with purplish scales. Asparagus beds produce for 20 or more years. Easy to grow; rust resistance.

A beautiful and robust variety of Asparagus
This is an amazingly beautiful and robust variety of Asparagus. Growing from seed takes longer, but is the only way to establish a bed of this French treat. After three long years of waiting, I was finally able to lightly harvest and the taste is incredible. Add to that, the stalk color (dark purple) and size are truly special. Literally, most of the stalks are as big around as three or four stalks put together of other asparagus varieties. A real winner that is well worth the wait. Highly recommended.
